Near the End

As time nears to the end my heart is full of mixed emotions. I am overjoyed to return home to my family and the new season God has laid before me, but at the same time sadened by the many people I will be leaving here. God has been molding me into a true woman of God and it is just the beginning of this long process that will shape me into the woman He wants me to be.
I have to live each day ready to learn and focused on Christ being the center of my life. I can not go on in life and try to make things happen in my way and in my time but allow God to be God.
God is drawing my heart to woman and leading women to take the roles that God has given us and to embrace them; not allowing the world to tell us who we are but remembering who God says we are. He created us to be man's helper and to submit to the men in our lives. This word submission is not a negative word like the world tells us, but it is a honor and a blessing to be able to have a Godly man in your life to submit to. I think it is a beautiful thing to see woman being lead by the men. Seeing a woman be able to go to her husband in humility and ask the hard questions. Having a husband who is ready and willing to teach his wife what the Word says. In a marriage I feel that God should be the center not only in their individual lives but also in the union of husband and wife. Christ must be the conerstone, the capstone, the foundation, the mere glue that holds our lives together.
I think God for the men He has put in my life this past year; and allowing me to see that in them. I am surrounded by men who care about the well being of the women around them, who are ready and willing at anytime to talk about Christ with us. I love when they come and ask us what we got out of class or what we think on the topics discussed in class. Conservation here is so meaningful and intentional. Christ centered and Christ focused.
I have learned a lot about who I am and where God is leading me. I do not have all the answers but I have a Father who is leading my path; so there is no reason to worry. He has ordained my steps and paved my walking path. He has went before me to prepare for me and has now returned to guide me. Praise God for His love and grace.
Δοξα στο Θεο
